Bruh, I was just thinking of this story, and it updates!
I'm so gonna read.
Oh, thank fuck!
Don't get me wrong, the sex scene was good, but the idea of the humans getting through would have felt forced as hell.
did not see that coming

I've actually restarted reading xenophilia. Miss that wonderful story. So, I'm reading again.
10749483
Lol, yeah, I wanted a trolling chapter, and Tim to finally get some royal sister plot. Don't worry, other more serious chapters are in production.
People posting joke chapters as some sort of April Fools joke really has to stop. Every year this site gets flooded with non-canon nonsense on April 1st and it's beyond annoying now.
ugh not another one ... good read but at the beginning, all of that humans invading must sex marry. that was just so much cringe
Well, knowing humanity, I'd expect a possible few holy wars, from more than one religion of the biggest religions, possible huge schisms in said religions, and entirely new religions as well. Just for starters.

I was wondering when this story was going to update too. We two minds think alike it seems.
wonder if the princess know human woman are fertile most of the time ???
a grate chapter.
Glad this is an April Fool’s chapter. Nice to see the story back and now I wonder what would happen if they did make contact?
Love it!! 💛💙💓💕💜

Glad to be of service.
4months and we get a april fool's smut chapter...I don't know if I should be mad or applaud you.
10749752
You mean at cervix
Took me a few paragraphs, but the longer I've read the weirder things got... Up until the pants dropped. I almost fell for it completely. Good job
Wow just in time for my birthday tomorrow
Had this story followed for some reason and remember reading early Chapters years ago. I remember liking the worldbuilding. Come back to it to find its becoming a regular harem clopfic with a ton of sex every chapter. Not trying to rag on the story itself and I’m sure there’s more to it that but its not my type of story anymore. Plus Mama twilight scene last chapter Your audience seems to like it though so keep it up.

I just skip the clop part
Glad to see this is still going!
Wait, what?
*checks date published*
Eyup, good 'what if' scenario and very good clop as well.
Damnit I was hoping that soon Tim would take Luna and Twilight to the Air and Space Smithsonian as soon as relations normalized.
A fun diversion, but I hope there's still more to come.

The story is ongoing. I'm in the middle of a writing drought at the moment, but I will continue.
10850892
Is that a drought overall, or just for this story? If the latter, I've found that writing something different helps to refresh me. In particular, pick out a show you like and rewrite an episode or two to get the juices flowing.
10851047
Drought overall, big part of it is we are in intercampaign at work right now, so time to write is limited. And when I sit down to write... nothing happens. I've endured this before, patience is what is needed. I have a blog post about this drought time.
Hi and when are you ganna continue?
I've been missing seeing this story crop up in my feed I may not exactly be a good writer myself, but if you're still in the writing drought/slump I'm sure many of us who adore your wonderful work are willing to help. Idk when this story will return but I just want to say that i believe in you

I've known friends for years that never brought up most of those topics because it just never came up. Even with friends from drastically different cultures it's rarely been a priority to dig into the differences in relationship behavior or detailed family structures unless it was pertinent to the current situation, such as when I actually did have a crush on the other person.
Add in the narrative clues that Tim's been convalescing for months due to some serious injuries plus the Princesses' reluctance to let him wander out in public out of concern for the reaction he might receive and it's not so far-fetched that he'd be somewhat ignorant of the finer points of pony society, especially at first.
Imagine being stranded on an alien planet with beings you didn't know even existed and being stuck in the equivalent of a hospital for months to recuperate from seemingly major injuries and with limited contact with others. I don't know that most people would immediately start gathering data and researching their future Ph.D in comparative sociology.

Fair question regarding the computer and phone. Personally I didn't give it much thought but it's reasonable to guess that technology from another world might not survive the transfer via the EQG portal (given how it seems to drastically change most things that pass through it), and Tim's arrival via a different channel bypassed that, hence Twilight being excited to examine intact versions using her full magical capabilities.
In the end I feel it doesn't really matter much.. It serves the story's purpose, and it's not always helpful to do a deep dive technical analysis, unless that's what the story is supposed to be about, of course.

Bro, they’re not in your state. They’re not even in your universe.
11067836 (PSA if you reply on a chapter OTHER than the one the comment was in, the person you respond to DOESN'T get a notification.)
Way to ignore half of what I wrote. Until you get me a codex of Equestrian law, Terrestrial law is the best we have. Look up rape in your state/ country, I'd bet good money that it's not that different from mine. Hell, even in character Twilight thinks she raped him. Sorry, bro, you don't have a leg to stand on.
11067805 - the same codes of honor and chivalry your trying to infer also note that to raise your sword for a cause that you know is wrong is still dishonorable and you take the persons dishonor upon yourself for doing so. shining armor could have acknowledged what cadence did was beyond unacceptable as it was on any level. by raising his sword in the first place he forfeits the right to consider his honor intact at all.
also the code duello notes that apology at the start of a duel is socially acceptable and more honorable then fighting a duel you don't actually believe your side to be right in.
duels are about defending your side because you believe what they did to be right and justified, to do otherwise is dishonor automatically.
11068073 (PSA if you reply on a chapter OTHER than the one the comment was in, the person you respond to DOESN'T get a notification.)
Why are you bringing up a code from the 18th century? Equestria is much more (High) Medieval than Victorian. To be clear, I am using the Chivalric Code as my basis. As such, you are right, you do take on their dishonor...BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR OATH. A knight's oath is not to judge his liege, but to SERVE. You bear their dishonor, but it is not YOURS - just as Jesus bore the sins of all mankind, though they were not HIS. Ignoring that...ignoring oaths to lord, love and land, there is another consideration. Silver en lieu tenant du roi - in lieu of Tim as a lead stallion - challenged Shining Armor as an equal. It would be the ultimate dishonor to both Silver, Tim and their herd, to deny them what is their right. It would be as good as slapping them in the face and calling them unworthy as stallions. It would be to declare that as nobility he were above the common-stallion - perhaps correct legally, but not morally. This would violate the tenants of brotherhood knights swear to uphold.
I reiterate (so far as the Chivalric Code is concerned) you don't know what you're talking about. Shining had oaths to consider, loved ones to defend, and the bonds of brotherhood to uphold. Cadence put him in a SHIT position, and you are wrong to drop this at Shining's hooves. Direct your scorn to the one who DESERVES IT, Duchess Mi Amore Cadenza!

Yep, though it also depends on your country. USA may use one set of terms and spellings, while UK may use another. and then just to confuse EVERYONE, Canada and Australia may decide neither are right and go with their own.
Oh lord, this can lead to fun in writing, when you switch to say.... A British character in the UK and have to switch your writing style to metric, shillings, and flip to using terms like lift, torch, and such. Remember the fun of editing that mess Sparky?
11068727
That was a challenge, for certain. But you pulled it off fairly well, I think. Can't wait to see more Velvet Nightfall
So, having caught up to the story, I figured I'd give you my thoughts. I can't help but wonder if Herding Instincts has leaned too far into the clop? One of the things that drew me into the story was the cultural exploration and casual character building...getting to see Cayenne's restaurant for the first time, meeting Citrus' PoS sire. Watching Canterlot slowly warm up to their resident human. We've certainly had some of that since the Infidelity Arc, but less and less. And a good chunk of the Crystal Empire Arc had Tim being a passenger, along for the ride, while the rest of the herd did all the fun stuff - much of which WE didn't see.
Understandably, as the herd has gotten bigger, clop scenes have become larger and more involved, as there are more characters taking up more 'screen time'. However, that's come at the cost of building characters. TBH, I still don't think I know anything substantial about North, except for the fact that she's good at mapping and is the most empathetic of the herd. I don't really know what she likes, or what motivates her. Who are her friends and what are her preferences? A lot of the same can be said about Silver, though we've seen a little more character development from him in the Infidelity Arc - the fact that he's an above average swordsman, despite his own words.
If you'd entertain my feedback/ advice for getting over writing block, I think the two might be able to be tackled at the same time. What I think the story needs and perhaps you need too, is a switch. Let's get a few chapters of the herd just living. I was bummed out when the zoo scene got cut short because of the deer, it looked like Tim had thoughts about animals being kept in captivity, and Twi seemed to earnestly believe in conservation. That could've been really interesting to watch both sides confront their views and have a frank discussion on the merits of both points of view! Maybe moving forward the herd could go see a circus? Or do ponies have amusement parks? Maybe they just spend a week in Ponyville to get away from the spotlight they've been under so much in the last two-dozen chapters? I'd just like to see Tim and Co getting to know each other better, lets get some of that 'off screen' character development back 'on screen'.
Just my 0.02$. I hope this finds you well, and I eagerly look forward to the next chapter!

Thank you so much for your input. If you've checked out my blog, and you would see that writing has been rather dry recently, thanks to medical issues. But I'm still writing, even if it's at a lower rate, I'm still loving writing the stories.
That being said,y editor, Kalash, has requested that he does some family chapters, and I wanted to do some family chapters myself. I've gotten caught up on other stories, and wanted to do a couple of this story, and I'm about 2/3 through writing a new chapter for this.
I agree that some warm, comfy, family chapters are needed. And I'm getting them done. And funny that you mention some about North... You might like what I wrote a few days ago...when I post it. Which shouldn't be too long from now.
